Severe Earthquake in Venezuela: 32 Dead and Many Buildings Destroyed
Two powerful earthquakes have caused widespread destruction in Venezuela, resulting in the deaths of at least 32 people. According to authorities, the intensity of the earthquakes was so high that several buildings collapsed, and people rushed out of their homes onto the streets in panic.
According to the seismological center, the first earthquake was recorded at a magnitude of 7.2, followed immediately by a second major shock of 7.5 magnitude. These powerful tremors shook various parts of the country, spreading severe fear and panic among the citizens.
The country's interim president told the media that dozens of buildings have been completely destroyed due to the earthquakes. Rescue teams have reached the affected areas, and operations have been launched to pull out people trapped under the rubble.
A state of emergency has been declared in local hospitals to provide immediate medical assistance to the injured. The government has also announced special funds to assist the affected families, and the delivery of relief supplies is underway.
Authorities have warned the public to remain cautious as the risk of aftershocks still persists. Rescue teams stated that they are making every possible effort to save as many lives as possible.
A full assessment of the damage is still being conducted, and there are fears that the death toll may rise further once the debris is cleared. The government has also appealed to the international community for support during this difficult time.
